Contrary to popular belief, the courier could learn from his past mistakes, though it took awhile. He would have made them all again, however, if it ensured that he didn't screw up or put his foot in his mouth when it really counted - like today. As the tension began to ease from Soh's body it did the same for Tal, and when she reached for his hand his eyes closed for a moment as he let out a breath of gratitude that he hadn't irreparably fucked things up this time.
He wasn't exactly a hugger... but he wasn't not one, either. It wasn't until she accepted his offer, however, that he realized just how awkward their current positions made an embrace. "Um... should we stand up, or...?"

He didn't pull his hand away from Soh's grasp, however, staying partially bent over and letting her decide the pace and how far she was willing to move from her comfortable perch in the chair.
